Portable data transmitting device, and system and method for managing heat stress using the same

Abstract

A highly precise clock synchronization apparatus in a real-time locating system (RTLS), includes an optical transmitting/receiving unit for receiving a clock information frame from a clock synchronization server, converting the received clock information frame in series-parallel, and transmitting/receiving the clock information data and the clock information; an offset estimation unit for detecting a preamble signal and a clock information signal from he series-parallel converted clock information frame, calculating a phase difference value by comparing the detected preamble signal with the detected clock information signal, and outputting an offset value based on the calculated phase difference value; and a clock synchronization unit for updating a local clock value to a time of the clock synchronization server based on the offset value and the clock information frame.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a portable data transmission device which monitors extreme heat stress imposed on a user's body, so as to prevent an extremely dangerous situation caused by the extreme heat stress occurring and prepare for an emergency situation, and a system and method of management heat stress.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In general, it has been found that heat stress is influenced by temperature, humidity, motion load, and climate acclimatization. In temperatures over 25° C., a human body tries to balance its body temperature by sweating so that the body temperature can be lowered due to vaporization of sweat. This mechanism is influenced by humidity. Thus, in a high humidity conditions, the mechanism becomes less effective. Furthermore, the mechanism is closely influenced by clothing, since air flow is restricted according to the kind of clothing worn.[0003]Both short and long term heat stress is harmful to a human body.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0030]According to the present invention, an optimized safety guideline can be provided in real time by remotely measuring heat stress in real time for each individual. Thus, an extremely dangerous situation caused by extreme heat stress imposed on a user's body can be prevented, and an emergency situation can be prepared for. In addition, management efficiency can be maximized since manpower can be effectively managed due to automatic management and reporting.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, in a high humidity conditions, the mechanism becomes less effective.

Furthermore, the mechanism is closely influenced by clothing, since air flow is restricted according to the kind of clothing worn.

Both short and long term heat stress is harmful to a human body.

On the other hand, examples of long term impacts include thermal weakening, high blood pressure, cardiac tissue damage, lack of sexual desire, and impotence.

In addition, firefighters may lose their lives while extinguishing fires such as a forest fire.

In some cases, athletes may also lose their lives in the course of training due to heat stress, or due to environmental reasons such as exposure to intense sunlight.

Although the WBGT system can measure environmental influence, individual work load and climate acclimatization which are different for each individual cannot be easily taken into account using the WBGT system.

In addition, when a monitoring device is placed in a single position, measuring is not properly performed since thermal exposure is different according to where the monitoring device is located even within the same workplace.

Furthermore, effective preparation and prevention become difficult.
